Kohlrabi Slaw

It has a funny name, but kohlrabi is a versatile vegetable that is delicious cooked or raw, as in this easy recipe.

2 medium kohlrabi, peeled shredded

2 small carrots, shredded

1 tablespoon shredded onion

1/3 cup white vinegar

1/3 cup granulated sugar

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon celery seeds

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Combine the shredded kohlrabi with the shredded carrots and onion in a bowl. Combine the remaining ingredients, in a separate bowl, and blend well. Pour over the shredded vegetables and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, to allow the flavors to intensify.
